Visual Studio - MoveToRegion
-
While watching one of my colleagues write some code the other day, I noticed he would create properties for several fields in a class, and then he'd have to paste them together, and then cut/paste the entire block inside a #region for properties. It seemed like quite a tedious process, so I began looking at VS extensions (we use VS2012). I found "MoveToRegionVSX", but apparently it doesn't support VS2012. Are there any other similar extensions for 2012? I was looking for something so that we could just highlight a block of code and easily move it to the desired #region. I had no luck whatsoever. I downloaded one called CodeMaid, and you can drag things around the outline to rearrange the code file. But you can only drag/drop one property at a time. I was thinking more of a keyboard shortcut for the entire selection. Any ideas?

Take a well deserved +5 for that - I'd never heard of MoveToRegionVSX before, and it's one of the jobs I always have to do: if nothing else, designer created event handlers are never inside my "Events"..."Event Handlers" region and I have to manually move them. Downloaded, installed, and VS2010 is restarting now...:thumbsup:

Too bad you didn't have an answer, but I'm glad I could be of assistance. :-D

That's nice! A list of regions at the bottom left of my screen, highlight a method and double click the region name...very sweet! Sorry I can't help with your problem though...

Sure, rub it in. You're lucky it's Friday so I really don't care so much about productivity... :zzz:

Paint blue circles on your eyelids, prop yourself in front of some complex code, and try not to snore... :laugh:

Sounds like a good idea. I might just write an extension to do that.

I actually downloaded the source for MoveToRegionVSX. It's actually a project hosted on CP. I'm going to attempt to convert it to VS2012. :sigh:

I'd use it for VS2013. :-D

Why would you not create the region first if it doesn't exist and then create the properties inside or simply open the region and create them inside? Am I missing something?

The guy I watched created the properties used the Ctrl+R, Ctrl+E shortcut chord. It places it directly under the field in the code. He didn't manually type out the properties.

Nice idea, I which I had time to update it .. keep me notified when it is don I hope my code is readable and easy to extend

I completed it on Friday, but the project is at work, not at home. All I did was update the project references to use the Visual Studio 2012 SDK. I don't recall the need to make any code changes. I tested it with my VS2012 at work and it seemed to function properly. :-D

Hi Ron Did it work with you on VS 2013? As per Matt U, you are supposed to just update the project references to use the Visual Studio 2013 SDK. Please, keep me updated to update the article accordingly Thanks for your cooperation :thumbsup:

Awesome! :) All I did was install the Visual Studio 2012 SDK, load and upgrade the project from VS2010 to VS2012, remove VS2010 SDK references, and add the ones for VS2012. If you have anymore questions you can message me on here or something. I'll gladly help out. :)

Muhammad, Yes it worked fine. I now have it in 2013 and 2010. And working fine in both. Sorry for the late reply, I got busy. Go figure. :)
